Commencement Information for Linguistics
Graduates 2009
UCLA’s Commencement website (http://www.commencement.ucla.edu/index.cfm)
is the official reference webpage for all things about commencement --
information about everything from cap and gown ordering to parking. It even has
a handy FAQ (http://www.commencement.ucla.edu/faq.cfm).
There are many commencement events
Linguistics graduates might take part in, including the main Letters &
Science Commencement Ceremony on Friday, June 12, at 5pm in Pauley Pavilion
(more information: http://www.college.ucla.edu/commencement/).
The information below,
however, intends to answer questions about events specific to Linguistics graduates,
namely the Humanities I Commencement Ceremony and the Linguistics Department Commencement
Reception.
_____________________________________________________________________
Royce Hall Auditorium, 1 pm
At this ceremony, Linguistics graduates -- and
graduates from other select departments in the Humanities Division -- will walk
across the Royce Hall Auditorium stage to be individually recognized.
RSVP:
via MyUCLA (starting April 28,
through May 13)
TICKETS:
Students may purchase up to 6
guest tickets. (Graduates do not need a ticket for themselves, but they must
RSVP that they will attend the event.) The first 3 tickets will be free;
additional tickets (up to 3 more) will be $10 per ticket. Students may
also request 2 more “waitlist” tickets ($10 each); these will only be granted
if space allows. (The decision to disburse “waitlist” tickets is made by the
UCLA Events Office, and typically is not decided until a day or two before the
event.) Students will be billed for their ticket requests through BAR; tickets
will be available for pick up in June at the Central Ticket Office.
WHEN
TO ARRIVE:
Seats
in Royce Hall Auditorium are first-come, first-served, so guests should arrive
early. Graduating students should not reserve a seat for themselves in the
auditorium; instead, they should check in to the Humanities I
registration area -- located in the west lobby of Royce Hall -- NO LATER than
12:15pm. Students who arrive after the ceremony starts will NOT be
allowed to participate, so please
arrive early!
The
ceremony is expected to take approximately an hour and a half.
